`Specify the distance from the each speaker to your lis- tening position.

Note

The speaker distance setting cannot be changed while a pair of headphones is connected, or “Audio TV OUT” setting is set to “On” (34) or Speakers B is on.

Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Sp Config (Speaker Configuration)” (31) cannot be selected.

The Center, Right, and Subwoofer distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Left distance. For example, if the Left distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the Center, Right, and Sub- woofer distances can be set between 15 and 25 ft. (4.5 and 7.5 m).

The Surround distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the Left distance. For example, if the Left distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the SurrRight and SurrLeft dis- tances can be set between 5 and 25 ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).

This setting determines which channel of a stereo multi- plex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broad- casts, and so on.

Input Ch(Mux)

`Main:

The main channel is output.

`Sub:

The sub channel is output.

`M/S:

Both the main and sub channels are output.

Mono

This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2- channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.

Input Ch(Mono)

`L+R:

Both the left and right channels are output.

`Left:

Only the left channel is output.

Only the right channel is output.

Panorama

`On:

Panorama function on.

`Off:

Panorama function off.

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode.

Dimension

`–3to 0 to +3

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.

Center Width

`0 to 3 to 7

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is out- put by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distrib- uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan- tom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.
